Loved one got top surgery yesterday so I made this for him but I think y’all would appreciate it too

yes, I’m a DM, yes, I love writing, no, I don’t know how distance works. Is that building 100 feet away or 40 feet away? Should you be able to see something ten minutes down the road? Is 1,000 feet long? Is 30?? Is 6??? Could you walk across the continent in 2 weeks or 2 years? I hate this. I hate travel. I hate measurement. Fuck you.

If you were to drown in the river today by tomorrow morning you’d wash up at my front door. Why the river washed you here I could only speculate, only you’d know the truth.

Some are delivered softly, kindly, cradled like a mother about to surrender her child to a home she knows she cannot supply herself.

Some come battered and bruised, thrown to the rocks by a current that couldn’t wait to be rid of such a burden. Most I find in the early morning when the water has slowed to a still.

Each morning I wake to find dead strangers in the water, on my porch, in my marigolds. I’ve grown accustomed to this decay, gentler in the wake of glassy eyes and cold hands. However they find me, all are a gift and all will find rest in my home. I realize now I should have said more to you, about the day the river gave you to me.

tarot decks are fun in the same way that rolling a dice to determine a result is fun, except the dice has 78 sides and occasionally criticizes your life choices

At the moment how I feel

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."

We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

Assert dominance over ghosts by jumping out at yourself from dark corners

i actually get so much satisfaction out of mending and repairing my stuff. like yeah it's a chore but also it's almost a religious ritual: bending my head gritting my teeth squinting my eyes at the thing i'm fixing all the while chanting fuck you capitalism fuck you consumerism fuck you i ain't buying jack shit
